What we do know is that we almost never see one for sale, even in lower grade. Andy Warhol became the manager for the Velvet Underground in 1965 and he suggested they feature the singer, Nico, on several songs. While Warhol was their manager, the Velvets became part of Warhol’s multimedia road show, The Exploding Plastic Inevitable, for which they provided the music. They played shows for some time in New York City and then traveled throughout the United States and Canada until the final show in May 1966.The original poster was printed on white stock and measures approximately 14″ x 20″.
